Silent Ride Exhaust?? Worth the money?

[VinRLX]

Well, ok, I don't know what a dB is either, but I'll gladly hit you in the face with one. Or two, but the force would be increased by. . .oh nevermind. I'll expect a full install report with pics.

Eh, we'll see. I just found out I'm not a nice guy (apparently it's obvious), so I'm not sure I should share.

[VinRLX]

Oh, come on. Please, please, please? I'll take back 75% of the bad things I've ever said about you.

Ordered 'em yesterday. Was going to wait a bit, but I'm too impatient.

My plan is to try to get some before/after video to see if the difference will show up in the audio track. Also want to try to get some acceleration data before/after to go along with it. Don't want to promise the most scientific results, cause I don't knows I'll have the time, but I'll do what I can.

Well ??? It's been a week....

Inlines just came in on Tuesday. Been PM'ing Jack that my wife is holding a HoneyDo list over my head. I don't get to play until a couple big ones come off the top of the list. Lot going on this weekend too, between family, UofM football game, etc. Not sure how much progress I'll make.

Worst part is I know it would only take 30 minutes to slam them in there. I'm fighting my own impatience so that I can get the 'before' data. Gawd it's hard to do...

Note - The inlines look awesome! The polished SS looks really sweet!

Jerry, posted a new topic for you, because this one isn't appropriate for your mod. . .

Now you HAVE to get the boat out.

[JohnDoe]

BUMP!

Jerry, any luck?

I am looking at these "cheaper" ones as well. Apparently an easier install but is it just as "quieting"? Performance loss?

[SunriseH2OSkier]

Sorry, not yet.

They are all nice and shiny sitting there in my garage just waiting for me. But I've been working some long hours, Mother Nature hasn't been particularly kind, and between that, soccer & cub scouts for my son, 4 sessions of dance for my two girls, Michigan football games, house projects..., I haven't been able to find the time.

Looking to keep the boat in service for at least another month - still hoping to find an opportunity to get all the data - pre and post install. Supposed to get our first frost tonight, and forecast is for 32F tomorrow night. Winter will not be denied...

[VinRLX]

Winter will not be denied...

Neither will The Malibu Crew. Get your duff off the couch and on the water.

Whatever became of this? Did they get installed? What effect did they have? Do they install with the existing mufflers?

Thanks,

Steve

I don't think Jerry was able to do the job before winterization. If he did, he was awfully quiet about it--and he's not one to be muffled easily. Soon his lake will be melted, but. . .he's too busy working to even consider using the boat.

Edited to take a better jab at Jerry.

Nice use of italics Jack. You've managed to stay pretty consistent with that.

Jack's got it right though - ice is quickly receding at the moment, should be clear in a day or so ( ). Unfortunately I'm heading out of town for a few days (yes Jack, working). But hoping to dump her in the following weekend for the season. Not sure how long before I get enough time to do the whole project. Might end up being the July 4 week. Sorry.
